Wins the Golden Globe for Best All-Around Turnip. Alright, maybe they don't really give Golden Globes to vegetables, but this one would win if they did. It shines for its tastiness, its quickness, and its fine texture even when harvested a little bigger than it ought to be. Don't think you like turnips? Try this: harvest young, slice, saute with garlic, toss with soy sauce and quickly steam the turnip greens on top. Yum!

Best grown for spring and fall harvests. Seed in spring as soon as the ground can be worked, or in early August for fall harvest. Seed in rows spaced 12" apart, thin seedlings to 6". Cover with lightweight row cover to keep flea beetles at bay. Turnips need ample water, at least 1" per week, and fertile soil. Keep weed free. Harvest when between 3-6".
